Summary
So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.
Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.
Or
Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.
Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.

Summary
Peter Parker was back from the dead. At least that is what everybody told him. He'd been snapped out of existence until some sort of time travel and an active death wish by his mentor had saved him and the universe. Just your average sort of life for a 16 year old from Queens.
Peter comes back to find May has a husband and a kid. A new family he has to fit into. But he has done it before, he can do it again.
The only thing that feels solid is Tony: the Blip and fatherhood have mellowed him and Peter loves the bond they have now. He knows Tony would be there for him through anything. But Tony needs to focus on his own recovery - not small time Peter Parker problems. When things at home take a turn for the worse, Peter decides that he'll handle it himself. He is Spider-man. He's been to space and fought aliens. He can get through anything. After all, if May is happy, he is happy, right? Right?

“What?” he finally gets out.

Sam has gone through his whole life without questioning his sexuality too deeply, but a short conversation with Isaiah changes that and knocks Sam off his axis.

Summary
Homecoming AU.
Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.
So he leaves.
Simple.
Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.
And that’s when things get complicated.

Summary
Tony Stark is dead.
Or, at least, that's what the world believes - that the great Iron Man was killed by Captain America in the Civil War. But if there's anything Tony Stark has proven over the years, it's that he's difficult to kill. And if there's anything Steve Rogers has proven over the years, it's that he's not a murderer.

Summary
“It’s the metal suit,” Thor informed Steve, his normally-booming voice tinny over the SHIELD comms. “What did Stark call it—Iron Man?”
“But he’s down here,” Steve protested as the Hulk roared in Stark’s face, startling him into waking with a shout. “How could—”
“It’s damaged,” Thor reported. “But it looks different. More advanced. And he—ah. He’s carrying you, Captain.”
“Please tell me nobody kissed me,” Stark breathed out, and then Stark’s voice suddenly came over the comms, but the man lying next to him hadn’t moved.
“Guys, come on, you’re killing me here. What is it, 2012? God, I hate time travel. First, I'm fighting Thanos. Now, I have to deal with my past self and Thor's bad haircut? Oh my God, Cap, yes I hacked their comms, they’re my comms.”
Steve nearly opened his mouth to protest that he hadn’t said anything when he realized that this replica of Tony Stark wasn’t speaking to him.

Summary
Steve was certain of a lot of things, chief among which that he hated Toni Stark. He was certain of that, and he was certain of his reasons for doing so, which were all totally factual. Probably.
His unfaltering certainty would go on to last precisely two weeks.
~*~*~*~
An alternate universe in which Tony Stark is born a girl, Toni Stark, and she was born around the same time as a certain super soldier. While that doesn't change the first impression they have of each other, there are plenty other things that undergo a few changes...

Summary
"Steve’s eyes are blue.
Blue as the worn thread they’d used to patch the holes in the hand-me-down sweater he’d worn the day Bucky had left him in search of honor and glory across the sea. Blue as the sky he’d caught sight of through the smoke and shrapnel over the hell that was life in the trenches. A jarring, beautiful thing that had no place existing alongside the cries of the dead and dying boys and bits of men scattered about."
In an unexpected attack, Steve Rogers is taken by Hydra to replace the Winter Soldier. Bucky is forced to face his inner demons and a Steve Rogers who no longer knows him. The Avengers will be forced to bring down one of their greatest heroes--Captain America himself.

The list of reasons Stephanie Rogers couldn't enlist were long.
She was small.
She was frail.
She was in poor health.She was female.
The list of reasons for why she fully intended to ignore all that and do her best to enlist anyway was short.
Bucky was going.
Her best friend.
Her only friend.
The friend who'd been there her entire life, every time she'd needed him, every time she'd called.
Always.
And she'd be dammned if anyone was going to stop her from returning the favor.Series

Summary
The number 11 is a good number for Darcy Lewis.
This is in no small part thanks to the elegant, ruby red writing that wraps itself around her right wrist like an intimate bracelet, its secret zealously guarded. Even so, it’s no secret to those she’s closest to that she has a tendency to up her eyeliner game and actually curl or straighten her hair properly on the 11th of every month.
The day Jane’s doodad machine malfunctions is not the 11th. It’s not even 11am.
Go figure.
